The Top Secret
offers designer clothing at discounts up to 75% off retail. They host 3-5 designer-specific sample sales per week, and each sale runs from 1 to 3 days.

This is the first sample sale site I've seen that offers a choice between cash commission and store credit for referrals. You can sign up as an affiliate through LinkShare and also refer new members via email for store credit, but you can't earn a commission and merchandise credit for the same individual referral. Whether you sign up as an affiliate or get merchandise credit (or both), you only earn once your referral makes a purchase. The above link includes an invitation code.

• Ways to refer: email invitation (store credit)

Beyond the Rack
is the site to join if you're already tired of the brands everyone else is wearing. Boutiques are open for 48 hours, but you'll get the best savings (up to 70%) if you start shopping right when the sales begin. Sign up through the invitation link above.

High-quality cosmetics you can afford. Check out the mineral makeup and eye color palettes. I'm not kidding, e.l.f. is the real deal. They made this refer-a-friend banner custom for me, so let's show some love and spread the word.

HauteLook
is similar to RueLaLa, only there are more boutiques open at a time and the sales last longer. It's nice because you get a lot to choose from whenever you visit the site, and you're likely to find something that interests you in at least one of the boutiques.

Gomatta Girls
The Gomatta Girls are "two Italian chicks who love clothes." All of their merchandise is 70-90% off! They feature only one designer brand per day on the main page, but they also have a "closeout" sale page where they unload previously featured items that haven't sold out.
